Real change takes a long time, and when it happens, it must be recognized. The FDA and the NIH have announced their move away from animal testing, improving scientific outcomes and marking a victory ...

Scientists have published nearly the entire genome of the common rat, making it possible to compare it to the genetic maps of people and mice. That ability is expected to yield clues into evolution ...

Scientists have discovered a more robust way of grouping chemicals and using read-across for toxicological data to meet regulatory requirements, which could greatly reduce animal testing. Scientists ...

Researchers in France have successfully cloned rats, overcoming a quirk in the rodent’s physiology to produce genetic duplicates for use in medical research. LED BY RESEARCHERS at the National ...
